The first-floor bar is noisy and spirited—show up before happy hour to snag a seat—but the mood gets a bit quieter as you climb the steps to the dining room. Read more

Try the wings . They are delicious! Not quite buffalo wings . They have a distinct flavor with just the right amount of kick!

Rob McGowan

Check it out for Happy Hour . $5 for fantastic mac-n-cheese in an onion soup crock.

Cathy Henry

The burgers & any of the Irish dishes!!

Osiris

Best burger , beer , & fries in Philly. Ask for Rachel , Dave, or Pete. If you enjoy Whisky , James has 'Paddy's' which is imported directly from Ireland. Good Times!!!

Valerie Wilcox

My little neighborhood haunt for a beer and burger - watch out for the garlic fries !! They are great but if you eat them, so does whoever you are with cuz you will get some serious garlic breath.

Steve Priole

Get the Bangers and Mash ... Its AMAZING! I get it every time I come into Philly!!

Brianna Wendt

REALLY solid brunch with $4 specialty cocktails . Home fries are killer.

????????Purpliscious???? Bee????????

Eileen gets flustered under pressure. They grat checks during center city sips. Never use your debit card. Cash only . The food is good.

Christina Dahl

Happy hour specials aren’t the cheapest, but the food was great

Great for Sunday brunch ...some of my favorite Bloody Marys in the city and the Irish Breakfast does wonders for a hangover.

Stephanie Vogel

"Spicy Parmesan fries " are not fries but chips that have been seasoned. Delicious but not quite as advertised.

Mats Beem

@Mike Beem: have seen the Free Mason 'Temple ' and the Mosaic neighbourhoud yet? Must see!

Taylor VA

JP V

Whispered to my date... 'I think this is a poser bar .' She laughed and hit her head on the wall. So what is with the lame-o music ?

Cathy Henry

Trying a new soup....chicken & rice ????????

Tina Tellado

Carter Wintsch

Pretty packed for the first night of SIPS but the service was good. Wings were decent, but the side dressing was pretty gross.

Fallon Dodds

Say hi to Adam. Quizzo is quite strange.
